  1. Sorry, just picked up another pair locally!
  2. Sending PM shortly. Live in Rochester, so hoping to pick up in person.
  3. Any chance you have the mondo size on the women's boots? Thanks!
  4. I realize that. I didn't know if it'd work with td3, and was hoping to share with others that it's fine if they were curious.
  5. Black disc has a thinner profile than red but still works perfectly well with TD3. Super communication, managed to connect in person for sale. Thanks!
  6. Ha! Well, next year. I help run our school ski club so I'm there Saturdays for the six weeks from Christmas break to Feb break. 9 times out of 10 I could use another chaperone to help me make sure kids are safe on my favorite carving areas... with my chaperone passes.
  7. I definitely don't always ride shoulders in line. It depends on what I'm trying to accomplish. The PureBoarding guys like massive rotation from what I recall of a clinic. Some people like to have rigidly locked boots, others ride in "walk" mode. Once upon a time I rode with knees jammed together, now they're neutral. Unless you're trying to get into racing, do some experimentation because it's an art. Watch some carving videos and try something new each time. Knowing *how* to snowboard, you'll have an easy transition.
  8. "Did you snowboard before doing that?"
  9. I ride bristol Saturday mornings. Sometimes weekday evenings.
  10. Looking at hitting one mountain over Feb break, and I'm curious about your opinion in terms of how good carving can be, how crowded, and just general preference.
  11. Guy behind me yesterday must have noticed the Rev180 and 60 degree angles. Made a phone call I guess. "Dude, I'm behind a thing that looks like a snowboard but it's not a snowboard!" I just kind of shrug my shoulders at those. Next run I had a person in the line next to me say "wow, a Donek! I have one too, but don't have the bombers." Never know what you'll get.
  12. Thanks both of you for photos and feedback! Not sure I want to dremel out the base plate, would still like to be able to switch back to standard if I wanted in the future. I'll keep looking at the parts, will start by ordering the heel kit and work from there. Thanks again!
  13. Have standard TD3 pre-Gumbo. Recently picked up a used board with F2 step in bindings. Figured I'd give Intec a shot, and now I'm curious about switching my standards to step-ins and not have to worry about changing heels or boots. Has anyone made this conversion? I tried searching but after various iterations I don't see it. I see that BOL has a TD3 Upper Kit (https://www.bomberonline.com/TD3-Upper-Kit_p_34.html) at $200. Looking at it, I don't see why I need sole blocks and lugs, just the bail. Plus the heel receiver. Is that toe block the same as the standard heel receiver? Don't I just need to pull off the block shaped heel bail and insert a rounded toe bail (https://www.bomberonline.com/Trench-Digger-Bail-_p_24.html)? I would need 2 of these at $12. Plus the heel replacement kit (https://www.bomberonline.com/TD3-Step-in-Heel-Replacement-Kit_p_30.html). What am I missing? Do I need the $200 kit when I can just get the bails and heel replacement for a total of $89?
